Could you tell me why the rackets are so outrageously expensive compared to squash and tennis rackets? I want to start playing but my jaw dropped when I saw prices.
@@TheLunarnotes I guess since padel is growing all over the world so amazingly fast, padel brands are in their moment, so they have no reason not to rise their prices. Back in the 90´s padel gear was relatively inexpensive compare to tennis for example. That being said there are second brands, that have reasonable prices and they offer good quality: Royal padel, Sidespin, Kombat, Kelme, Kappa, Dufour, Sane, Sola. etc. All of this brands have nice products for amateur and even competitive players. But if you look for top brands like Bullpadel, Nox, Adidas, Head, Wilson, and specially their top of the line models, prices are up to 5 times other raquets (palas o paletas are how they call it in spanish) And believe me in this you can it even tell the difference between a 120 bucks racket from a 300 one until you reach quite a high level. Go for a medium model in a second brand and you will enjoy a lot. Spend your money on padel lessons, and you will be fine. Then may be, you need something that match your needs. But you can not know what you need unless you play well and play a lot. Greetings from Argentina, I hope you find this useful.
Scoring system is the same used while playing tennis (game-set-match), but in recent years the deuce has been changed to the Gold Point. This new norm is used when the game is 40-40, it's called the Gold Point bc the team that wins the next point wins the game, the team that recieves the serve choses the player that is going to recieve it skipping what would be the natural serving order.
There is a theory that tennis scoring was originally counted using the hands of a clock, hence, 15mins, 30mins, 45mins (which was shortened to 40). Hope that helps
Clearly, you have never played padel nor watched professional players. Padel is much more about tactics and playing at the right speed. Many tennis players that start with padel make A LOT of mistakes by hitting way too hard or with too much slice on the forehand, meaning their balls: 1. Go straight to the wall and lose the point easily 2. Go too hard and give an easy rebound for the opponents to counterattack. I don't think it's easy for tennis players to get used to this.
People who liked this, including you, must have never played padel. It requires crazy reflexes, flexibility, endurance, etc. so no, not at all for retired people.
I haven’t played, but looked this up because I’m considering it. I am a solid tennis player… But my friends tend to kind of suck. So instead of good rallies, it winds up being me mostly just fetching the ball the smacked somewhere stupid. So padel might solve that problem since it’s walled in. Now they can suck all they want!
Because it is consider a volley, but it must come with the right height, so you can smash it, it bounces on the opponent court, and can go outside, or even return to your court.
Came to see what this is all about because a video was claiming it was going to take over Pickleball but now I see that it requires a whole room…. no way. Especially when it’s not the same size as a racquetball court.
~@2:00: ... like in tennis... If the score is tied 40:40, ... two consecutive points in a row... Wrong? I mean, in tennis it's "everytime it's a tie, one must win to consecutive points in a row". And "safemoon to the moon" even declares there is a "Gold Point".
What if the first serve of the ball hits directly the wire wall or the glass without touching the opponent’s court then what should we do? Re-serve or count a point to opponent?
It has just been approved to build Padel courts near me. I am a little unsure. it says if the ball hits the net or the wall the pair that hit the ball loses a point (in tennis the opponent wins a point) it then never mentions it in the scoring part it just explained tennis scoring. is it like tennis and they used a poor choice of words? if they lose point then at deuce if a team hits it into the net they would lose because 40-40 goes 40-30 which is a game win condition?
Dont understand what the point of the game is, its basically tennis with glass walls, and a more longer version, plus the balls fly so quick its hard to spot where its at
So I am very open minded and love to learn new things. How the f*** didn't I hear about this thing sooner it this is a couple of decades old sport? How is this a thing just now while no one ever mentioned it ever before?
@@browserforu8306 he asked for the situation at 1:30 ... you cannot do this with the fence.... sure, when you receive the ball it can bounce the fence after floor bounce
Tried this the other day. Had rented a field for 45 minutes. It is really fun they said, you should come. Ok. So I need to serve the ball in the square? Yes. Ok. Tried for 45 minutes, no succes. Went home, not my sport 😂
@@Zneakys Not American football/arm pit football, I meant that soccer you know, the European or global football, actual game that plays ball with feet. American football is very exciting :) Every sport watched live is always more exciting than watched on TV. TV makes every sport a little more boring. Padel could be better live but not on TV. Same with soccer/real football.
@@Toonio-mk5ou I read in another comment that singles fields are smaller? Without ever having seen a Padle field in real life, they already look kinda small? Why would you make it even smaller just to play 1v1?!
My partner and I play Singles at the moment. We only use half of the court and try not to hit the ball to other other side. We're beginners, so we're playing singles until we feel confident enough to play with other people and get used to the scoring system.
I think tennis and padel tennis should have same scoring system as badminton. 21 individual points to win a set and best of 3 sets. Find tennis annoying where you could win a set in 4 points. Doesn't give yourself enough time to get back into the game.
I have been playing padel for over 3 decades, and this is one of the clearest explanations of the game I ever watched on youtube. Well done.
It’s 3 decades old?
@@fedyosh4221 padel was invented in the late 60`s, in 1969 precisely in Acapulco by Enrique Corcuera. I start playing it in 1989 in Argentina.

@@georginiuss Thanks for your response! I'm booking my first lesson soon, in Stratford, East London, UK's biggest club apparently.
Couldn't make it to the end due to the ridiculously overbearing music. What's wrong with just hearing a person speak these days?
Bro idk what u mean cuz I can hear clearly?
Could have been worse. But thanks to subtitles, you should be fine without sound
I am here to watch this video because Padel recently born here in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. This sport is very interesting!

My head is reeling trying to understand the tennis/padel scoring system. Who on earth counts 15-30-40 instead of 1-2-3?

Padel looks like retirement sport for ex-tennis players
I think it might be vice versa. Tennis can be a lot slower than this for elderly. My grandpa plays tennis but doesn’t like the pace of padel

Why is everyone here assuming retired people can't move around lol. Being retired doesn't mean you're disabled lol
this game is a mix of tennis and squash
or Racquetball.
Wow this the clearest explanation of Padel I’ve watched
same for me (also the only video about padel I ever watched but it was very clear xD)
Yo that chick buffed!
Do you know who she is?
I haven’t played, but looked this up because I’m considering it. I am a solid tennis player… But my friends tend to kind of suck. So instead of good rallies, it winds up being me mostly just fetching the ball the smacked somewhere stupid. So padel might solve that problem since it’s walled in. Now they can suck all they want!
When I think of panel, I always think about how diverse it is.
The chess of padel sports.
Why can people smash it over when it hasn't bounced over? Nobody explains this in any video
Because it is consider a volley, but it must come with the right height, so you can smash it, it bounces on the opponent court, and can go outside, or even return to your court.
Came to see what this is all about because a video was claiming it was going to take over Pickleball but now I see that it requires a whole room…. no way. Especially when it’s not the same size as a racquetball court.
1:09 what do you mean loses a point? Like im 30 i become 15?
I believe it's because the other team wins the point if you do that. Hence, you lost it.
Why don’t you just say the scoring is like tennis…?
Because not everyone play tennis.
This look so boring 😅 I'll stick to tennis and table tennis 🏓
~@2:00: ... like in tennis... If the score is tied 40:40, ... two consecutive points in a row...
Wrong?
I mean, in tennis it's "everytime it's a tie, one must win to consecutive points in a row".
And "safemoon to the moon" even declares there is a "Gold Point".
Correct, they explained it wrong.
So the game is squash/tennis mixed with a large table tennis bat .
What actually constitutes taking a point? Watched the video but still unclear.
Hitting the net (like in tenis) or hitting the glass behind without the ball touching the ground first
لعععبة الباادل موو صعبة يعني ولا بقول سهللة لااا
What if the first serve of the ball hits directly the wire wall or the glass without touching the opponent’s court then what should we do?
Re-serve or count a point to opponent?
the server has two opportunities to complete the serve
I think 2nd serve only counts if you hit the net or miss the service lines
can i hit the fucking gitter or what?
I’d love to try this game! Looks like the best of squash and tennis combined.
I been watching bits on BT sport lately, I'm good at tennis and squash so would like to try this but not sure best places to play.
1:23 lol is that puppey?
what's the verdict on a situation where the ball comes back to your side without the opponents having touched it?
Point for you.
I played paddle 70 years ago and still haven't received a cup of coffee
This game was invented in 1969
Could I play with a lower disc injury?
It has just been approved to build Padel courts near me. I am a little unsure. it says if the ball hits the net or the wall the pair that hit the ball loses a point (in tennis the opponent wins a point) it then never mentions it in the scoring part it just explained tennis scoring.
is it like tennis and they used a poor choice of words?
if they lose point then at deuce if a team hits it into the net they would lose because 40-40 goes 40-30 which is a game win condition?
a bit too fast video for my taste. Other than that it was helpful
Rather weird sport 😂
Not getting good at racquet sport after playing for sometime?
This might be the good alternative 😂
Dont understand what the point of the game is, its basically tennis with glass walls, and a more longer version, plus the balls fly so quick its hard to spot where its at
so basically tennis but with a fence and silly paddles lol i like it ngl i wanna play this game
So basically, it's a tennis and squash hybrid with tennis points system, and using table tennis type "racket/paddle".
So I am very open minded and love to learn new things. How the f*** didn't I hear about this thing sooner it this is a couple of decades old sport? How is this a thing just now while no one ever mentioned it ever before?
Great video love it
After bounce on my side, am I allowed to return the ball via the wired fence, or only via glass wall?
glass only
@@Chavi27 : Is that correct? As per 01:47 both are possible (glass and wire)
@@browserforu8306 he asked for the situation at 1:30 ... you cannot do this with the fence.... sure, when you receive the ball it can bounce the fence after floor bounce
Haaaa. So it’s a mix of tennis and squash. So many people talking about it. I just had to find out how it works.
Such a dumb game… how many ridiculous rules
Can i play this as singles instead of doubles?
Looks like maybe it's fun... but I would rather play tennis.
Looks like a lot of aspects are similar to tennis. With the serve area and the points system. But i'll stick to tennis 😋
long story short, a sport to pick up when you have failed in tennis.🤣
Who searched this up because of Ronaldo
Basically a cross between tennis and squash
Tried this the other day. Had rented a field for 45 minutes. It is really fun they said, you should come. Ok. So I need to serve the ball in the square? Yes. Ok. Tried for 45 minutes, no succes. Went home, not my sport 😂
Turn your body sideways when serving
this video is best for padel new players
Can I hit it into the corner so that it hits the back and side wall and then over?
Bloody hell but this girl is built. Hot, hot, hot.
Its basically tennis then with bounce and a wall
Excerise for people who find tennis too hard
padel is mixture of tennis and squash
i was told that padel was simple, it's not
Don’t ask me the Color of anything
tennis table points woud match better
No, il dio anubbi no, NO IL DIOGHANE

"diverse"
lol
Now I need to know where to play padel with the girl in the video...
can i hit the ball directly to the back wall without bouncing the ball into the ground first? " in play"
No this is out and you lose the point must bounce off the ground first
Is this more fun than pickleball?
It's more dynamic but demands more practice
Does it have to be played doubles or can it be played in singles?
As far as I know, it has to be doubles.
it can be played in singles
There are two different court sizes. One for doubles and another for singles. The most common one is for doubles.
It can be played in singles, but the court is smaller. I've only ever seen such a court in Spain
My partner and I play Singles at the moment. We only use half of the court and try not to hit the ball to other other side.
We're beginners, so we're playing singles until we feel confident enough to play with other people and get used to the scoring system.
